Thank you very much to all by your answers. The measurement of the speed I do it with gps, with which I do not believe that it's influenced. In the adjustment of the mast, I have do everything, and without result; I have even changed the fixation of the shrouds with billets by tensions to be able to...

Hello to all. In the first place, excuses by my English. My McGregor 26X of the 2003 sails 0.5 knots faster and making better angle hauled in to port in comparison with going hauled in to starboard. Is this normal?

Navman pilot allows to connect several emitters of navman that they have an own communication protocol (in addition to the NMEA) through device call NAVBUS. Certainly, it's a very complete pilot, but the price in Spain, including the arm, is about $2000 as opposed to $850 that the Raytheon costs The...

Is it valid to sail plotting fixed course with the wind, or only in geographic course? I can't address this capability with other models, but the ST4000 has it. In order to do so with any autopilot you will need an input from a wind instrument, which will send wind data to the autopilot through NME...

Thank you very much by your answers. I will study the option of the ST40. Is it valid to sail plotting fixed course with the wind, or only in geographic course?

Hello. I've been thinking in install an autopilot in my :macx: . All my electronics (wind, deep and gps) is Navman, so I'd like install a navman autopilot (if anybody has a better solution, I'm waiting your suggestions). I've seen that it's necessary a linear hydraulic ram. Anybody knows what is the...

Lazy is dessigned to help to raise the sail, not for support the weight of the boom. You must use the topping lift.

I've got a GPS chartplotter and a fishfinder, and I never had problems with the mainsail sheet.

Well, here in Vigo, temperature in winter is between 3C and 10C, so I haven't this kind of problems. I sail all saturdays in a 24' in races and 75% of sundays with my wife in my Mac.

I've got a pointsails spi 2 or 3 moths ago, and I use it practically all times I sail. I've got the ATN sock and tacker, and all work very well. Last sunday with app. wind between 6 and 9 knts., gps shows 5,5 to 6,3 knts (record for my Mac) with courses between 90 and 120. You can see some photos in...

I've seen that a lot of photos of mods are made over the trailer. I've got my Mac 2 years ago and it has been out of the sea 2 times for 4 days (only to paint bottom). In winter I sail 2 or 3 weekwends a month. I understand that those that sail in lakes freeze in winter do not do it. But the rest, d...

In Spain it's obligatory for all the fiber boats. I have one cylindrical because it's the one that less occupies, but is not the best one. Whatever more surface has, better works. I take it hung of backstay

I've got GPS & fishfinder on the pedestal. I put it whenever I sail

I think like Norbert. I just buy a spi to use like genoa with light winds.

I've jib, and I sail without reefing with more than 15 knots. The only thing that I must do is to take the main sheet in the hand and to drop it when the wind comes up. I read that all people in this forum use genoa, but with my experience, jib is enough. It's only 2 years old, but, when I must chan...
